Wear only cotton clothes, either wear shoes or barefeet (no socks) and do not build it on carpet. Touch the case before you touch any parts everytime you got for a new part. Should be fine built a dozen or so, never ised wristband, never had build not work

No dont plug it in... just dont stand on carpet, and dont wear socks only, and you'll be fine. Always run the risk of having a partially defective switch and cooking something. Not likely but more likely than you shocking something if you're wearing cotton and discharge static b4 you start.
